Themark of a craftsman is his familiarity with his tools, the speed withwhich he can use them to solve simple problems, and his cleverness inusing them to solve more complicated challenges. The latest edition of Unix Power Toolsexplores the standard Unix tools in greater depth than ever, and withbetter coverage of Linux, FreeBSD, and even the Darwin environment ofMac OS X. It’s also been improved by the addition of sections on Perland Python, programming languages that can often solve Unix problemsmore adeptly than any specific utility. This detail-filled bookdistinguishes itself from other guides for Unix gurus with itsorganizational structure (it’s a series of articles that can beabsorbed sequentially or individually) and carefully designed andexecuted index. Like its esteemed predecessors, this book is one youwill keep handy.The authors have achieved a nearly ideal balance in thepages of this book. It’s not just a collection of recipes (suchcollections tend to leave you hanging if you want to do something alittle differently), it’s not just a book of documentation (books likethat have application mainly as references for people who know a lotalready), and it’s not just a conceptual how-to guide. Unix Power Toolsis all of those things, and the overall effect is impressive indeed. Ifyou work with any flavor of Unix, whatever your level of experience,you will benefit by having this book. –David Wall
